Mario Strikers Battle League arrived on Nintendo Switch on June 10th, 2022.

The surprise already stole the show at Nintendo Direct and will be many Nintendo fans' most anticipated title of 2022.

Gameplay & New Features

The Mario Strikers Battle League gameplay trailer shown off at Nintendo Direct included a few clips of gameplay as well as some elaboration on new changes to the game.

This includes customization of your team and their stats, new special moves, Hyper Strikes, multiplayer options, as well as some other new features along the way.

The game will feature multiplayer both online and locally, allowing up to 8 players to play at the same time!

For players that want to join together on the pitch for the same team, the game will support up to 8 players with 4 allowed per team in individual matches.

The game's file size clocks in at 3GB, so you may need to clear some hard drive space before picking the game up.

Platforms

Mario Strikers Battle League is available on the Nintendo Switch, though (while unlikely) other platforms may be revealed closer to the game's launch later this year.

It will be available for online and local multiplayer, but online play will require Nintendo membership.
